The in-year performance against 2020/21 strategic milestones was strong, with all complete and either green or amber rated. The Estimated Final Cost (EFC) in several projects had moved, primarily due to coronavirus related pressures.

Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

  • Retro Underground: the Seventies to the Noughties – 3
    RETRO UNDERGROUND: THE SEVENTIES TO THE NOUGHTIES – 3. OTHER EVENTS by Tony Morgan My earliest memories of the Underground are during the Second World War travelling from Kingsbury on the Bakerloo Line into London and sometimes on to Kent on the Southern Railway to visit relations. In 1968, after ten years of driving to North Acton, I started commuting in to Great Portland Street. While I was there the second section of the Victoria Line opened as far as Warren Street. One lunchtime I decided to have a quick trip on it. The 1967 Stock train came in to reverse back. The Train Operator was standing in the cab with his back to the direction of travel as the ATO stopped the train. Maybe this was being done to build confidence in the new control system. Travelling home one day from Great Portland Street I saw the latest LT Magazine on display in the ticket office. I then started buying it on a regular basis. The front cover of that first edition had a photograph of the C69 Stock about to be introduced on the Circle Line on it. From that magazine I found out about ‘The Last Drop’ event at Neasden Depot, on Sunday 6 June 1971 advertised, which celebrated the end of use of steam locomotives for engineers’ operations. There I joined the Society because of their Sales Stand. This was my first organised event. At this event all three remaining locomotives were in steam. L94 hauled a rake of engineers’ vehicles from the City and pulled into one of two Klondyke Sidings in Neasden depot.

  • London Transport Railways
    London Transport Railways The following selection of images is of the stock displayed in the “Underground Centenary” exhibition held at Neasden Depot, which we visited on Saturday 25th May 1963...... Sadly and inexplicably the Metropolitan Railway F class 0-6-2T locomotive L52 featured here was scrapped soon afterwards, but most of the other items, or examples of them were preserved at the later London Transport Museum, on the Bluebell and Worth Valley Railways, and elsewhere. In 1963 and for about 10 years afterwards, there was still plenty of vintage interest to be seen out and about on the London Transport lines. The picture (right) shows a train of Metropolitan F stock at New Cross Gate, East London Line, on 17th August 1963...... and here is an old G stock motor car trailing a District line train out of Richmond station on a very wet and misty morning of 4th April 1964...... On that day we travelled extensively around the extremities of the system on a “Combined Rover” day ticket. At the former Great Eastern Railway station of Woodford, Essex we were surprised to find an “automatic” or “driverless” train trial in progress using one of the experimental units, on the Hainault Loop line. These were the first tests of the system later used on the new Victoria Line. Note the aerial on the front of the cab, and temporary wiring...... The weather did not improve as we ventured on to Epping, then to Ongar....... The latter still retaining its air of a country branch terminus despite the use of modern stock (right) A contrast between station architectures is seen at Cockfosters (below left), an iconic LT 1930s design, and High Barnet (right) almost unaltered from its origins as a Great Northern Railway branch terminus...

  • London's Transport Through the Lens of Jason Cross
    THROUGH THE LENS – LONDON’S TRANSPORT THROUGH THE LENS OF JASON CROSS by Jason Cross A report of the LURS meeting at All Souls Clubhouse on Tuesday 14 May 2019 Jason began the meeting by informing the audience that some subjects were away from London Underground but 70% were related. Jason advised that he did not use a drone but a 10m pole for the aerial shots. The camera at the end is connected by a cable to a tablet which is used to take the photographs. Jason split the photographs in his presentation under the following headings: S STOCK MOVES • Melton Mowbray station with a pair of class 20s taking an S8 unit to Old Dalby for ATO testing. • An S7 unit at Old Dalby with temporary ATO equipment bolted to the front. • An unexpected shot of an S Stock unit being hauled by a class 08 diesel shunter at Old Dalby. • Also at Old Dalby Jason captured a Crossrail Aventra class 345 on test. • Units are moved from Bombardier at Derby to Old Dalby and then on to London usually by the Rail Operations Group (ROG). The next photograph showed top and tailed ROG class 37s on a Class 710 London Overground unit. • Jason then captured a ROG class 37 hauling a Crossrail class 345 at Harrowden Junction. • Two more shots then showed class 345s at Liverpool Street and Paddington where they are in service until Crossrail opens. RAILTOURS, CHARTER AND HERITAGE TRAINS • Class 87 number 87.002 was shown at Paddington on a GBRf railtour. This locomotive, which is usually used on the empty stock of the Caledonian Sleeper, was only the second electric locomotive to be seen at Paddington.
